 Excellent collection June 27, 2008
I'm a big fan of Buddy Holly's music, but I quickly found myself frustrated to discover just how many different Buddy Holly collections there are out there to choose from. I compared many of them & found that most of them all had his biggest hits, but they were also missing several of his other key, less popular songs that I really wanted. Then I came across this collection & found that it had just about all of his hits that I wanted & then some. I admit that I was then a little skeptical at first that these were going to be the true original recordings that I looking for & to my surprise, it was. So if you're like me & want to get as much bang for your buck as possible, then I would definitely recommend picking up this collection.
 Works for me March 15, 2008
I'll keep this one short and sweet. If the fact that another Buddy Holly compilation is on the market bothers you - don't buy it. I really don't get why people are so worked up over this release. If you have a Buddy Holly collection that you prefer, that's great. Nobody is being forced to buy this one.
The Definitive Collection is a great collection of Buddy Holly material that is perfect for folks like me who want to get a better idea of what the pioneering rocker's sound was all about without laying out a lot of money for individual albums or box sets. You get 26 amazing rock & roll/rockabilly songs, all digitally remastered (they sound fantastic), for a bargain price. What's not to love?

When the movie "The Buddy Holly Story" came out in the late '70's alot of Buddy holly's music was available on records and Eight track tapes,I really liked "Buddy Holly Lives" there were tracks on that one that aren't on MCA'S current line up like "Brown Eyed Hansome Man". but all in all this is a pretty good starting point for anyone wanting a taste of Buddy holly's music.
Interesting Picture Of Buddy March 4, 2007

This man was a genius.The way he constructed his songs was sensational.I can play his songs over and over and never get sick of them.There is an element of saddness during his final official recording session,and all of the tunes appear here.Raining In My heart,is a real special song,the atmosphere of the Orchestra and the way he sung it is second to none.
I often do this when you get a particularly good tune,i analize it and i want to know what the hell makes it sound so good.
Another 2 songs from that session were It Doesnt Matter Anymore and True Love Ways,both songs are masterpeices.Reminiscing was the other.
There is a number of his tunes you can do that with,Heartbeat is one,and the excellent lead guitar,nothing over the top,just precision guitar playing.He had a sound studio in his house and even though on todays standard it may seem antiquated,he definitly produced the goods.
Heartbeat is a fine example of no computerization polishing.You can hear his strumming of the guitar,and there is nothing better than hearing that human side to a song.If you close your mind from the vocals and listen to what he was doing with the guitar,you realy appreciate this song better.
Maybe Baby was done with The Crickets,and there is something about the sound thats just brilliant.
Oh Boy gets you moving,i wish you luck if you can play this song and not tap your foot.
What about Rave On,that Bluesy bass is excellent,but why was this song so short.Its So Easy is another fine example of his fine lead guitar work.
What is it about the way he plays that song?Just precision thats the only way i can describe it.
Peggie Sue is probably his crowning glory.That drum beat echoing in the background is a sensation.
That'll Be The Day started it all,even though his record company wanted to scrap it.And in a brief 2 years this man was gone,how sad is that?
I dont care how old it is,his music was excellent.
Another song i have to mention is Everyday,that has a real catchy sing along tune and is a favorite also.
There is a fine collection of other songs here as well.

Once again, Universal has released another Buddy Holly CD, and once again, they've dropped the ball. There is nothing here that wasn't released on last year's GOLD. And that was a rehash of THE BUDDY HOLLY COLLECTION. This time we get even less, since almost half the tracks are missing.
In 2009, Buddy Holly's recordings will enter the public domain. Maybe then Bear Family or someone who cares will release the box set containing Holly's complete works.
